- In Ukraine, thousands more civilians have fled Russia's renewed ground offensive on the northeastern front. Kyiv has sent reinforcements to the border of the Kharkiv region where there are intense battles with artillery and mortar fire. Russia says it has captured several villages. Ukraine's military chief admitted the situation is difficult but said his forces are doing everything to hold defensive lines and positions.

When the western media start reporting and saying 'difficult situation' you can imagine how bad things are
😂:imagine then :ruzzians media 😂:no casualties whatsoever or weaponry damage
Its Ukraine who describes it like that and we just echo it but only Ukraine knows the true frontline situation. DW attempts to give an accurate picture and point to as many problems facing Ukraine as Russia.
Not bad at all. Russia just took undefended territory. It took them 2.5 years to capture 22 km and most of that area was abandoned because it was part of the buffer zone. Russia troops retreat when there is resistance, so they will retreat again soon.
😂😂😂 that is true
America did not supply enough shovels.
If the whole Europe can’t fight Russia then why do you expect Ukraine to win the war
They don't, follow the money.
Russia's army is trash.
true.
It's like gambling that is bound to fail
They didn't. All military experts predicted that Ukraine will fall in 2 weeks.
Surprise attack?? Ukraine was saying russia was preparing an offensive in kharkiv region a while ago, where are the defense trenches?, where is the syrski defensive line?.
Where are soldiers for tranches
The billions are sitting in Zelensky Yachts and Mansions.😂
kabarnya parit itu ditempati tentara NATO tapi melarikan diri setelah dihujani artileri, drone FPV , bom FAB, dan Zala lancet. katanya dalam benak mereka tentara Rusia sangat lemah lebih lemah dari Taliban, Irak, dan Libya seperti yang diberitakan media masa mereka beritakan. 🤭🤭
All of those resources were redirected to beachfront property in Spain.
These defensive lines are located further away from Russia's border. Please keep in mind that Russia is shelling Ukraine constantly over the border. These bots trying to convince people that Ukraine is this massively corrupt country is an absolute joke.
If they say "difficult situation" it s because the things a really bad
REALLY BAD!!!! Ukraine is going to have to decide which land is worth fighting for because they will not be able to hold the entire line as is. Big chunks will have to be given up or risk a complete fall

Difficult is the new word for losing
It is not new, Vietnam was “difficult” as was Afghanistan and Syria. It’s simple euphemism for “we’re not really sure how to handle this but it hasn’t fully collapsed yet so we’re still not ready to call it a loss”. And like those cases, it end on unfavorable terms for those who clearly don’t have a functional distinct plan
I thought you guys said Russia lost this war already 2 years ago and that they were fighting with shovels and washing machine parts.
Zelensky said the situation is going as planned. And the residents said the situation is horrible.
Border villages were never going to be heavily defended. Russia won't take Karhkiv without a new mobilization though.

Well...that's the plan though, isn't it? Zelensky sells the lives of Ukrainians out for personal profit...that was always the plan.
@@emalek8290Russia's goal is not to take Kharkov, but to stretch the front so that Ukraine has no reserves left, and also to delay the front line so that Belgorod is not shelled.
Also, judging by bloggers from Kharkov, the locals are not much against Russians, yet this is a Russian-speaking city like Donetsk/Mariupol.
He still sounds like a comedian.. only that he lies now and the world not Ukrainians laugh..

@@sapphyrus In fact Ukrainin aolsdiers from the front are saying exactly that.
How’s was it a surprise when they said they anticipated the attack
They are just trying to get clicks.
Ukraine used same border to conduct multiple raids into Russia territory, it is logical to expect a counter attack there.
Ukraine's defenses had no depth. Everything was at the front. Once that fell, it was easy for Russia to keep going and swallowing up more and more territory.
They say that money to build a solid line of defense was sent for someone pocket

Yep Putin should listen to you and leave his brothers in Ukraine alone.
Continuous NATO expansion towards Russian border after the collapse of the Soviet Union is the root cause of the problem. Imagine Putin or Xi Jinping trying to form a military alliance similar to NATO with Mexico or Cuba. I bet US will send troops in a flash and neutralize that threat. No world peace as long as there is a massive private military industry. They always need a theater of war to sell their goods and their politician buddies always give them one. NATO kept Russia as an adversary after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Russians were never allowed into the European family as Germany was allowed back in after the WW2. Putin would not have been in power this long if NATO was disbanded at the same time Warsaw Military alliance was dismantled. Putin is using the NATO threat to rally the Russians just as US/EU Military industry is using Russian bogeyman to sell their expensive combat toys.

Brother, you just wrote a bunch of squiggly circles

Chasiv Yar is strategically more important than Kharkiv.
No. Kharkiv is more important as history proved it since WW2.
Whatever point that is in imminent danger of being lost will be declared unimportant.
Translation of Zelensky: “we’re getting wrecked”.
Pasukan Rusia sudah berada 3km dari Chasov Yar dan Zelensky dan para bloggernya terus mengoceh Ukraina akan menang. lawak para badut.. 🤭🤭
Bro this force is not going to take Kharkiv. Kharkiv is a town of nearly 2 million inhabitants, the attacking Russian force is about 50,000 men strong. It is not happening.
It’s been well know for some time that Russia might launch a new offensive in the North. Yet unlike Russia that prepared elaborate defences during the last winter Ukraine apparently didn’t bother. They just held out their hand for another handout then blamed the West for not giving enough.
Grift
'Might'
Its been inevitable since they vacated Kharkiv, that theyd be back. Its been imminent since Ukraine's Glorious -February- -March- -April- -May- June counteroffensive fell on its face and Russia started operations at Svatove.
They ran out of weapons and ammo 6 months ago. NATO sends down armored customer model 40 year old scrap 2 years after it is needed and 5% of what they need. 2.5 years in they still don't have jets or proper air defenses.
But Russia was out of ammo from October, 2022. It’s wonder how they are still achieving these success against advanced NATO weapons with just shovels.
China North Korea Iran and India have been sending weapons for over a year now. Russia is now on a war footing spending 60% of their GDP on the war. NATO weapons and ammo ran out for 6 months everyone knows this. It took 6 months of Ukraine having no ammo or weapons for Russia to gain the upper hand
Ian China North Korea India and others have been sending weapons and ammo for well over a year now to Russia. Those aren't advanced NATO weapons. NATO has only been sending 40 year old down armored customer models from scrap yards HIMARS is over 40 years old and going to be retired next year. Still better than anything Russia has. If the Ukrainians had 5% of the equipment Russia has they would have won the war in 6 months. 7000 Russian tanks destroyed LOL. The Russian navy is losing to the Ukrainian navy and they don't even have a navy.

“We didn’t understand what was going on.”
There’s a war … ?
An officer from the 57th Brigade Denis Yaroslavsky says that fortifications were supposed to have been built around Volchansk in 2022. But due to corruption the money allocated was never used to build fortifications. This is the same problem Ukraine is facing in the Donbass. After the fall of Avdiivka Ukraine was supposed to fall back to fortifications on the outskirts but none were built. The downfall of Ukraine will not be brought by lack of western aid or resolve but by the inability of Ukrainian officials to contain their greed and prioritize national security over lining up their own pockets.
Lol so a corrupt democracy is worth saving?
Avdiivka was the most heavily fortified position they had. They never believed it would be lost.
Corrupt government never win war
Russia hasn't won after two years from corruption. Remember the start of the war and the tires literally falling off trucks . And a big country like Russia having to purchase gear from China Iran and n. Korea. 🤦
@@sarahbrown5073 I'm referring to fortifications on the outskirts of Avdiivka not inside the town. There were supposed to be defensive lines outside Avdiivka so Incase the Russians captured the town the Ukrainians would be able to hold defensive lines on the outskirts and repell a further Russian push. None such fortifications were built.
"difficult situation"... translation... the lines are being overrun and it doesnt look like they'll hold on till we can cover it up with the Olympics games this summer...
Why would they stay in towns that are so close to the country that you are having a war with?
Ukraine never bothered trying to evacuate them
If the russians advance civilians will slow them down and civilian casualties are a good strong headline to sway more money towards ukraine...
She nailed it "Technology is not going to fill the gap."
Russia is fighting this war World War 2 style. Yes they will take lots of losses but they don’t care about that as long as they win in the end. And I suspect they will.
Its not like West have significant technological superiority either. Both West and Russia have areas of military tech that superior of each other, its just West have more of high-tech equipment (but as turned out, not endless, and lack of other nessesary military equipment).
It's sad that this will end with Ukraine losing 40% of land if not more and so many dead
You think they will keep 60% 🤣🤣🤣

It was Kerch bridge attack followed by drone attack on Moscow which was denied but indirectly celebrated by Zelensky depicting Hindu War Goddess Kali in very objectionable manner, that led to annexation of 4 south eastern Oblasts of Ukraine into Russia.
Zelensky's foolish attempt to invade Russia from Ukraine's north & attack Belgorod has forced Russia to annex another land corridor in Ukraine's Kharkiv & Sumy region also. Putin had warned about this long back. Putin had floated idea of securing buffer territory into this region too.
A divided Ukraine can not become Article 5 guaranteed member of NATO & a divided buffer country which not only keeps enemy (NATO) away but also provides secure, annexed land corridor to Russia's national borders can become the best guarantor of Russia's national security. Any price Russia may pay now will be worth trillions for the benefit of its posterity.
Kharkiv has been historically ethnic Russian region. After Zelensky's foolish incursion into Russian territory from Kharkiv, its integration into Russia seems inevitable.
Always insightful with this interviewee

RISE OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Joining forces with Poland, Austria and Denmark, Peter I (tsar of Russia, 1682-1725) attempted to push Sweden King out of the Baltic region during the Great Northern War. Sweden defeated these four countries in 1700 with superior technology. Peter I retreated and began in 1703 to modernize his military. In 1704 Peter I invaded and defeated Ingria (Finland). In 1709 Russia met and decisively defeated Sweden at Poltava in Ukraine. Peter I took the northern Baltic regions from Sweden and in 1710 he conquered Tallinn (Raun p.33). In 1721 Peter I signed the treaty of Nystad with Sweden to end the Great Northern War (Kirby 1990, p. 257, 300-315) Peter I declared Russian Empire and himself Emperor of All Russia. He made St. Petersburg the capital of the Empire, which remained so until the end of the Empire. (St. Petersburg Times, Bowlt p. 93)
